Bispecific antibodies are effective for relapsed/refractory B-cell lymphoma patients even after CAR-T therapy.
Peripheral blood CAR-T kinetics and functional analysis in vivo were carried out pre- and post-epcoritamab infusion in B-cell lymphoma patients relapsing after CAR-T therapy.
CAR copy numbers spiked at relapse and rose again following epcoritamab administration. Expression levels of CAR-T exhaustion markers did not increase, whereas perforin and granzyme B expression increased after epcoritamab induction.
Early epcoritamab administration without cytotoxic agents at relapse after CAR-T therapy revives CAR-T cell numbers and cytotoxicity, which may potentially lead to favorable clinical outcomes.
双特异性抗体对复发/难治性B细胞淋巴瘤患者有效,即使在接受CAR-T治疗后也是如此。
在接受CAR-T治疗后复发的B细胞淋巴瘤患者中,在输注epcoritamab前后进行外周血CAR-T动力学及体内功能分析。
CAR拷贝数在复发时激增,并在给予epcoritamab后再次上升。CAR-T耗竭标志物的表达水平没有增加,而穿孔素和颗粒酶B的表达在epcoritamab诱导后增加。
在CAR-T治疗后复发时早期给予epcoritamab且不使用细胞毒性药物可恢复CAR-T细胞数量和细胞毒性,这可能会带来良好的临床结果。
